I removed it last night and there is no fuse so I buried it with a towel. After I woke up it was beeping every 30 seconds. Tested it and it's getting full power. Turned it around so it is facing the opening to the basement and it's not chirping. But then again it's daytime again. Haven't open the doors. No change in ventilation. It seems to be connected to the solar panel somehow. I'll get out the schematic and see what else is on that circuit. I put LED bulbs in the bedroom lights for the first time and they flicker when the furnace is running. Just a little. Maybe it is detecting propane. Tiny amounts. But I hasn't chirped for about six years. I've had it streaming out of the burner at times when the spark or failed to ignite. Never went off then. 3 feet away. ?
It has input voltage, but is it the same voltage as battery voltage measured at the posts, same as solar controller output, day, night?
Am thinking maybe identify where it is getting its voltage from when it is beeping and then during the day by seeing it is the same voltage as someplace but different from some other place.
Does the beeping go with how it shows low voltage, which on mine is different from how it indicates nasty fumes.
On mine after the low voltage gets down to near zip, it won't beep because it has no power anymore. Yours beeps all night, so what is it saying?
Interesting mystery. You can't just borrow one and try it before buying a new one usually, so be worth a bit of trouble shooting with this one first considering the cost of a new one.
